Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Considering she's an older ship but she was very clean tidy she didn't show her age anywhere the crew has looked after emerald very well

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
As usual it's always clean

Ports of call

Dun Laoghaire (Dublin), Ireland

5 out of 5
The local town centre wasn't too far you had to take a train which I think took about 20 minutes it cost €6.50 pp for a return. All the locals are lovely they love to chat to newcomers very generous they would put you up for a night if you meet the right person but don't do whisky tasting on breakfast.

Greenock (Glasgow), Scotland

5 out of 5
Again there wasent much at Greenock it was just a local town centre but Edinburgh was about 2 hours away on a train so if you like to travel that the train then why not.

Cobh (Cork), Ireland

5 out of 5
nice little town but some of the locals not that friendly to newcomers from my point of view

Holyhead, Wales

4 out of 5
Wasn't much at Holyhead we had to anchor as there is no actual port

St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It's always sad to leave especially when you've met amazing people
